A liberal college psychologist brainwashed my kid

My daughter went to see her for some advice/therapy to help deal with some anxiety. Since then my daughter became seriously arrogant and mean saying things like she hates me and never wants to see me again. I know I’m not perfect but her extreme unfounded reactions make me believe something is really wrong. It might have something to do with my political views not lii in lining up with this psychologist. What should I do?

Go and talk with the "therapist". If you detect an agenda, pull your daughter out of her care and find an actual therapist. If that therapist was attached to the school, call your lawyer and consult with him.

Are your political views horrible because you want to OWN THE LIBS?
It's your call, but if I was you, I'd focus on your relationship with your daughter and not her therapist.

You might try a bit of internet research on the therapist. Look for student opinions and reviews, TED tanks, qualifications, memberships. I wouldn't assume anything about the therapist without research.

"Hates you" and "never wants to see you again" is pretty strong language for someone older than 4. Maybe it's the therapist, maybe the stress, maybe something else. Take a step back and try a non-strained conversation. Maybe it's the crowd she hangs with. Is that new? Like a few months of a daily doses of arrogant discourse and you become like the rest of the crowd.

And don't leave out the possibility of alcohol or drugs. Hateful discourse sometimes goes with a hangover or withdrawal.

look for dress, makeup, hair changes, etc.

Good luck

A sudden personally change by a 17 or 18 year old may be a symptom of a serious mental disease.

While that may be true this post accuses a "liberal" psychologist of brainwashing and is very politically biased and the paranoia of left wing academia in itself is just right wing whining lacking much substance.

@Gloomy My comment would have been the same if he would have said "a nun" or "a conservative".

@Heartlander That’s correct. I tried to raise my daughter to be as politically independent as possible because some politics can be a serious mental disease.

Be a better person? Not trying to blame someone else for a failing relationship. You must think little of your daughter to think therapy sessions turn her against you and that against her will.
You mentioning that the college prof is "liberal" whatever that is supposed to mean indicates that you yourself politicise your relationship with your daughter.
sdave455 · 41-45, M
@FragileHeart She had anxiety. Help was offered by the college. It turned political after the help got involved. You clearly have no idea. So please take your useless opinion and shove it.

@sdave455 No I am confident in my assesment that you are projecting relationship failure on your political enemy in this case in form of a therapist

to me it sounds like you're the problem. just give her some space and respect her decisions
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@looping I recall a time when our then 5 year old son insisted that 5X5=10 and that Ms Tabor, his teacher told him so, and the 5X5=25 flash card was wrong :)

@looping Sorry but I will not gaslight either her or myself.

@looping I'm sure that advice was helpful to all the parents who lose their kids to depression and suicide on a daily basis...
It might have something to do with you forcing your political views on your daughter. You seem to have dismissed your daughter in this scenario again.
its like they create problems to make continuous patients ....

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout they are using their background in psychology to do it

The fact that you immediately jumped to politics is telling. Maybe that's the reason.
Shaveit · 61-69, M
Going to a college for help psychological was the 1st problem. They probably told her that she is a man in women's clothing and you are to blame. Get her to go to a REAL therapist, not one with an agenda.

@Shaveit 🤦‍♀️
sdave455 · 41-45, M
@Shaveit That’s good advice

You'll have to find a de-programmer.
That's an odd leap.

See a doctor not some woke liberal psychologist
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
You should have known better than to post it on here😏

You should be a better father to your daughter and not blame a doctor.

What are her reasons, though?
